Trying to decide on an intake/carb setup. When i pulled the carb and spacer today both gaskets were soaked with gas all the way through. The Holley carb doesn't fit on the 1975 intake without the spacer.
Also by tonight or tomorrow my pop is going to show me how to replaced and repacked the inner and outer bearings on the front since there were shot.

I don't know if its my eyes, but in the last picture (driver side valve train) it looks like the very first rocker arm has its adjusting nut cranked down really far compared to the rest of the rocker arms on that side and those on the passenger side. Is it my eyes or did you pull that rocker to inspect something? Of did you loosen all the others for inspection?
